To download the App, click one of the links below (it requires Android 4.4 or newer, or iOS 9.3 or newer).

Registration:

Upon first start, before you could access the main menu, you will be taken to the registration screen. If you are not connected to the internet, you might face a screen that warns you about the lack of connection. You will need access to the internet so the application can download base maps and you can log in/create a new account.

If you have a memory card in your phone, the app will prompt you asking whether you would like to save the application data on the internal storage or the memory card. Tap the preferred option followed by the ‘OK‘ button.

Registration is advisable in order to get access to the free offline maps later on, however, the application can also be used without an account. The free, unregistered version of the app offers 1 offline map, has a navigation limit of 5 kilometers and excludes the ‘Draw’ function. However, after the first few trial navigations, the function is limited.

You can unlock the ‘Basicpackage‘ by creating a free account later or you can purchase it if you don’t feel like doing so. This lets you share your trips over social media and import GPX files with the TAHUNA Tool desktop application (only when unlocked by registration, as you need a TAHUNA Account to share your tours).

If you don’t wish to register, tap the ‘Skip’ button to get to the main menu. To set up an account, tap the ‘Register’ button.

To create an account, you will have to enter the following information:

– your email address and password,

– your nickname.

If you wish to receive news and updates from us, you can check the box at the bottom of the screen.

To enter further information about yourself, tap the ‘Additional details’ button. You can set details like:

Most of this information is used by the ‘Fitness’ functionality of the application to give an estimate of the calories burned during a trip/workout or store statistics for further reference.

Other registration methods:

There are several other possibilities to create or merge an account from social media sites with the application.

Tap the ‘email’ button if you wish to sign in with an existing email account (see left and center pictures).

In this case, going through the registration process is not necessary as the application can use the information of the existing email based account.

Tap the Facebook logo to sign in with your Facebook account (see left picture). A dialogue box will pop up offering you to merge your local data to your cloud account. This is not necessary.

You can also tap the Google+ logo to sign in with your Google+ account. In this case you can choose which google email account data you wish to merge the app data with (see right picture).

EULA:

The next page shows you the End-User License Agreement.

Please read it through carefully and scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page.

Before agreeing to the EULA, you will see three checkboxes: please tick the first one if you would like to get newsletters from us, the second one if you would like to share diagnostic information in order to help improve the product and the third one if you would like to share your personal data for even better development.

You can view the EULA any time by tapping the Paragraph button at the top right of the screen within Settings/Info.

Tap ‘Agree’ to continue.

At this point the application will need to download the base maps. You will need an active internet connection to do so. Please make sure you are connected to a wi-fi network as the base maps are fairly large. If you are using mobile data, you will have to confirm the download. This can later be modified within ‘Settings’.

Additional details:

Map and voice guidance download

16/16 – When you are finished with the initial setup, the application will offer you to download offline maps. It will automatically detect your location and will prompt to download the map of your country. If you have set up an account, you can download further maps to your device.

After downloading the desired country maps, you will be offered to download the voice navigation files. These are available in various languages. Similarly to the map download, you will be prompted whether you would like to download the files for your language (if available). The default language files are embedded in the application and cannot be deleted. The default setting can either be English or German (depending on your OS settings).

You can come back to these screens later by selectingSettingsin the Main menu.

Whichever registration method you choose, you will be taken to the Map screen of the application. To access the Main menu tap the Menu button at the top left of the screen. You can access all options/features from this screen.

The Account button at the top left of the screen takes you to the account management screen. You can sign in/out and edit your account to enter/modify your details in case you haven’t done so when you first started the application.

If you are logged in and have a profile picture set up, it will replace the default silhouette icon () of the the button.

To access the Profiles screen, tap the above button. Please note, that the icon displayed will show the selected profile (you have set your preference upon registration) or the default option (Touring bike).

On the Profiles screen, you can set the profile you would like to use and edit it (along with the others). To set a profile, simply tap on it. The default options are:

– Touring bike

– MTB

– Race bike

– Pedestrian/Hiker

You can add further types if you have multiple bikes of the same kind.

To edit or delete a profile, tap on the Further options button on the right side of each one (see left picture).

On the top right of the screen you will find the Personal settings button. This option enables you to to adjust your personal details (see center picture), such as:

– Date of birth

– Gender

– Height

– Weight

– Maximum Heart Rate

– Resting Heart Rate

To edit them, tap the desired field and enter the adequate value in the dialogue box (see right picture) or the drop-down menu (for gender only – see center picture).

Tap ‘SET’ to save changes and select ‘CANCEL’ to get back to the previous screen and discard modifications.

On the Profile settings screen (see the picture above) you can modify the settings of the selected profile. You can change the name, the type and you can also enter your bicycle’s weight.

Furthermore, you can use the sliders to weigh the road types to be used during planning. To give an example, this can be useful if you don’t want to use gravel roads on your road bike but have no problem doing so while riding your MTB.

In the ‘Advanced Route’ section you can set the navigation type to either ‘Turn by turn’ or ‘Beeline’. Cyclists can also take advantage of one-way streets if local laws allow it.
